I think El Estrago Bonito is talking about weapons like the Falx. The falx was used by the Dacian people in modern-day Romania, and was one of the weapons that could reliably hook itself past the large shields the legions used at the time, hence the need to adapt.

Then the Romans ended up adapting it for use as a siege hook iirc.

I once had the idea of trying to convince stupid dudes that women started losing pubic hair in the 1990s because of the long-term effects of Chernobyl fallout, but I thought it was too far-fetched.

Nah, there's people stupid enough to believe it, you just gotta bait the hook!
